BACHMANN AND PERRY HAVE TIES TO DOMINIONISM ADVOCATING DEATH PENALTY FOR HOMOSEXUALS

"Dominionism derives from a small fringe sect called Christian Reconstructionism, founded by a Calvinist theologian named R. J. Rushdoony in the 1960s. Christian Reconstructionism openly advocates replacing American law with the strictures of the Old Testament, replete with the death penalty for homosexuality, abortion, and even apostasy."

socalfitness saidI will submit my recommendation that the OP should be in an early group taken for "consideration and evaluation and disposition".

BTW I am an official member of Sarah Palin's Death Panel Commitee. I have officially submitted you as a possible candidate for Death. You are not far from it so shouldn't be a problem getting you approved. You can thank me later for taking you out of your right wing misery.

I can't believe people aren't taking this seriously. Basically the Republican candidates want to reinstate the holocaust...starting with gays, then Jews, then blacks, then [fill in the blanks with several other minority groups].

And now I'm even starting to wonder if the Democrats are simply being hush-hush about a similar agenda.

creature saidIt doesn't bother you that a presidential candidate who holds these views is gaining traction?

What views?

All we have is a link to a piece that describes what another piece in the "Texas Observer" ("The Progressive Voice of Texas") alleges.

Did you or any of the others on here even bother to delve that deeply, or did you just see something that confirms your dislike of Perry and automatically assume that it's true?

I don't know about Perry, but I'm talking Michele Bachmann. I read the New Yorker piece on her which I posted, and she is associated with highly extreme fundamentalists. One person whose name I don't remember off-hand was even dis-invited by a Minnesota Teabagger conference for his views.

I agree, what's the big whoop with having the Christian version of Shariah?

...........

The big 'whoop' is that when a politician gets this close to such outrageous and discriminatory beliefs that we need to work against then wholeheartedly. You make light of this obvious sign of extreme trailing to the fanatical right when if you take a look at history, everytime religion and politics/government untied the public suffered.

This dominionism is akin to the efforts of the likes of AIPAC, and which one of you can deny that they haven't infiltrated very successfully into government, media and business to very definately influence our US Government. Why do you think that most of the world has a saying about the US being in Israel's back pocket. So don't think for a minute that with concerted and constant efforts that these Christian fanatic types cannot gain prominence, because they can and they will if they keep at it and informed people don't take stands against it, look how far we've tacked to the right in just the last 20 or so years.

He who forgets history is condemned to repeat it, there are obvious signs of religion being increasingly mixed with government and we should not just sit back and say nothing.

SB, what better sign of Perry's leaning toward mixing religion and government than that he used the governors office even against advisors advice to promote his day of prayer, he even sent out invitiations to other governors. Do you need him to knock you on the head and tell you, 'hey, I don't see a thing wrong with mixing government and religious beliefs'.

I guess when thinking about what "might" or "could" happen, it takes a lot more to scare me than most of you.

Who is asking or wants you or anyone to be scared ? Just read and take the warning signs to heart even when they are of your party and don't give them your support. Don't tell me that you support those who tend to mix god and gov. for votes, its a dangerous combination.
